Did no one think a response to that was in order?

Rabbi Miller answered β That is the way it should be!βThis should presumably be taken at the level of “Yiddishkeit or some other way of life,”
but at the level of “my way of Yiddishkeit or yours,” we should presumably apply
“eilu v’eilu divrei Elokim Chayim” (both are the words of the Living G-d).β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantYou made me laugh. : )

May 8, 2017 5:26 pm at 5:26 pm in reply to: A 2-player game you can play with pieces you probably already have #1272190β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantHere’s another game:
Lines of Action (designed by Claude Soucie, first published in 1969 in the book A Gamut of Games)
You will need: A standard checkers set.
Setup: Place the 12 pieces of one color on the left and right side spaces (except the corners)
and the 12 pieces of the other color on the front and back sides (except the corners).Gameplay:
The object of the game is to get all of your (remaining) pieces to be connected in a single group,
orthogonally and/or diagonally. (This includes having only 1 piece remaining.)
The players alternate turns (choose a first player by any method).On their turn, a player moves 1 of their pieces.
A piece can move in any of the 8 orthogonal or diagonal directions.
The number of spaces a piece can move is determined by the number of pieces that player has
along the line of the board it is moving on. For example, if a player wished to move his piece to the left,
and there were another 2 of his pieces present on that horizontal line, his piece would be able to move
up to 3 spaces to the left. If he had no other pieces directly above or below a piece, and wanted to move
it up or down, it could only move 1 space (the total number of his pieces on that line).A piece can be moved past (but not onto) a player’s other pieces, but not past the opponent’s pieces.
Pieces can move onto an opponent’s piece – if one does so, the opponent’s piece is removed from the game. (Be aware that this means the opponent now has fewer pieces that they must connect in order to win.)(Note: If a player connects all of their pieces with a move that also reduces their
opponent to 1 piece, the player with more pieces remaining on the board wins.)May 8, 2017 5:17 pm at 5:17 pm in reply to: What’s the strangest thing you got in your mishloach manos this year? #1272168β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantIt’s vegetable juice. I found it enjoyable.
β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantAlong the Maggid’s Journey (R’ Paysach Krohn) quotes it from Rav Yitzchok Elchonon (Spektor),
although it’s possible that it originated with someone else. (I think it might be attributed to a third source
in one of R’ Dovid Kaplan’s Impact! books.)β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantWas anonymous posting available for a short time?

This last upgrade (or maybe the previous one – I was unable to access profiles in that version) changed the profile pages somewhat. The “Contact Information” fields are probably not publicly visible, while the “About Yourself” section is.
β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantI don’t think it was the Ponevezher Rav.
β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantFind a rav who ever told anyone that they should
start wearing a burqa, then we’ll talk about what
“people take upon themselves as a chumra.”As for the masses, I think it is more infuriating when
people behave improperly in the name of righteousness.April 23, 2017 9:38 pm at 9:38 pm in reply to: Shhhhh… Don’t say the makots in order, let alone all 10 of them #1260574β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantIf the website has a place for comments, you can type corrections there.

β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantCourtship is the period in a couple’s relationship which precedes their engagement and marriage, or establishment of an agreed relationship of a more enduring kind. During courtship, a couple get to know each other and decide if there will be an engagement or other such agreement. A courtship may be an informal and private matter between two people or may be a public affair, or a formal arrangement with family approval. -Wikipedia
